Boothe Memorial Astronomical society

About Us

The Boothe Memorial Astronomical Society was formed by a local group of professional and amateur astronomers in 1953, and its members have been studying our skies and educating people in the greater Bridgeport area for the past 60 years. Today’s society members actively pursue public education by hosting observatory tours and viewing sessions, open houses, "sidewalk astronomy", telescope making classes and star-hopping nights, demonstrating the same passion for astronomy that its founding members shared with the public.
